Energy deflation and a multi-year U.S. dollar structural decline

Conviction: 55% · Horizon: 5Y · 2026-07-05
Falling energy prices and a weaker petrodollar unwind dollar strength over years

Near-term dollar strength can persist, but over several years lower energy prices, softer inflation, declining short-term yields, accelerating renewables, and reduced strategic reliance on oil should structurally weaken the U.S. dollar and redirect capital toward Japan, China, and gold.

Instrument Side Target Reason
GLD Long We believe a gradual loss of petrodollar support and lower real-rate pressure over a multi-year horizon increases the appeal of gold as a store of value when the dollar’s structural bid fades.
EWJ Long We believe Japan stands among regions that historically benefit when a strong dollar cycle gives way to sustained weakness and global capital seeks alternative equity exposure.
